Tough Problem

Prince · Jan 26, 2004

I have a major problem. I have an entire HTML page
stored within a string variable.

ex.

<html><head><title>text</title></head>
<body>
some data
</body>
</html>

the variable, str, equals that entire string.

string str = "<html><head><title>text</title></head>" +
"<body>some data</body></html>";

I want to open a non .NET window and have pass that
string to it. Since the new window will be a PLAIN HTML
window it should parse the string I pass.

Any thoughts on how to accomplish this? I code in C# and
not VB but I can follow VB syntax. An idea I have is to
pass the entire contents within the URL to another
window. Within the new window, use ASP to get the
Request object then use Dynamic HTML InnerHTML property
to make the contents of the new window what is stored
within the request object. Only problem is, the info I'm
passing isn't just innerhtml stuff, it's an entire web
page!

Help!

If you are using ASP in the new Window, just Response.Write() the contents.

If I understand this correctly, this is a severe security risk if you're not
careful. You probably don't want to trust anthing that comes in off of the
query string without checking it first. In addition, don't forget that
there is an upper limit to the size of the query string.

Not sure what you mean exactly about a "non .NET" window. Do you mean
another browser that needs to access a non ASP.NET page?

Maybe you could stuff it in a cookie. Just remember ot parse it and make
sure that it hasn't been tampered with before you spit it out to your users.
